Best way to see ghana - ATMs are plentiful and you should use ghana currency for everyone's convenience. Just write out a chart and keep it in your wallet with ghana denomination equal to US currency. Tip staff generously. Police check points are plentiful but the police are generally very nice, don't aggravated them and it's all good. The roads can be very bumpy, a good seat cushion works wonders for long flights and the vehicle ride. Ghanaians are very polite and friendly and make a lot of effort to make us comfortable so if we have small inconvenience please be respectful and understanding. Ghana is a very safe place and I never felt any uncomfortable going anywhere. Use Uber but tip in cash, use local ride share like Bolt or yango but set the payment to cash and pay the driver and tip in cash. If you set it on credit card you may not get picked up. Meals are inexpensive compared to the states, generally about 6-9 USD. and portions are huge. Local beers, Star and Club are large 22oz and cost only 1.56 USD. in the bar. The weather in October is 87 hi 76 lo. No need for pants. Shorts only and either tank tops or very light t-shirts. Private massage at coconut grove beach resort are excellent, we had the couple massage in our room. Dorothy, Olivia, and Ameri were excellent. Cost was equivalent to 49.50 USD. so tipping them generously is still a bargain. If you have bottled drinking water and candy for them after it helps as the work they perform is strenuous. Our guide, Basit, made our trip very relaxed and serene. Tripafrica tours are very different from the group tours from Gate 1, Smart tours, or Overseas Adventure travel. We've tried those and it became less appealing each time for so many reasons. With Tripafrica tours it doesnt include airfare there, so you can shop the airfare on your own find what works best for you as far as price and dates you want, then contact Tripafrica and they'll put together a tour based on the period you are there. If there are places or activities you want they'll make those arrangements also. They gave me a few options and I liked what they were and picked one. I wanted to come a day earlier to just relax and leave a day later so they adjusted my program to that also. On the big company group tours much of it is so scripted and feels rehearsed and like we're cattle being led around with a guide that is constantly feeding us information overload and won't shut up. Not so with Tripafrica, they don't talk your ear off and they give you room to breath while you take in the beauty of the country and the people. They stop when you need to pee right away or want to get a snack or stretch. We stopped and got fresh coconut juice at a roadside stand and waved down people selling water and plantation chips a number of times. Those other tours would never do that and the money we spend goes directly to the members of the community. We stayed at only locally owned places as arranged by Tripafrica to keep it all local. There were a few very minor inconveniences but all were addressed immediately. Just remember that internet connection in rural areas is spotty. Toilets in some places are different as some areas are underdeveloped, like at stops along the way so bring wipes if you like. By the end of the trip we felt like family. Our driver, George was absolutely wonderful getting us to each location safely and timely. I recommend tipping driver and tour guide generously as the saving using small tour companies leaves you the ability.

The Ultimate History Lesson in Ghana 2024 - I always knew that I wanted to travel to Africa. I originally had plans of touring South Africa. However I joined a tour to Ghana with friends. I am so glad that I joined this tour. My life will forever be impacted by this experience... and I have TripAfrica Tours to thank for that. The trip was well planned and executed. The tour guides from TripAfrica made sure that were entertained, enlightened, and educated, as well as safe, comfortable and satisfied. I would highly recommend TripAfrica. They are extremely professional and courteous. They also have a vast knowledge of the region and places to tour. What an amazing experience! Thank you TripAfrica!

An amazing experience with TripAfrica Tours from beginning to end. - Nuru-Deen and his team gave my wife and I an experience that greatly exceeded my expectations. The team is very personable, very professional, humorous, and fun. I felt that I saw so many great parts of Ghana that I was a resident and not a tourist. I highly recommend if you are visiting Ghana that you allow TripAfrica Tours to provide you memories that are unforgettable. I also really appreciated the “white-glove” service that Nuru-Deen offered leading up to our trip and first meet. Every box was discussed and checked to ensure that our experience was unique to our specific desires. Whenever I return to Ghana, my first choice will be coordinating with TripAfrica Tours.

Trip of a lifetime. - This was the best vacation that I have ever taken. Traveling the route of my enslaved ancestors was life changing.

Great tour guide and driver in Cape Coast! - Tripafrica Tours is amazing! Our tour guide Tony was attentive, punctual, professional, and knowledgeable. Tripafrica Tours came highly recommended from 3 of my other friends that have used them in the past and I am very happy we used them!

Amazing - Most amazing experience! Very professional & knowledgeable about everything! Life changing trip with this company! Highly recommend!! Provided great hotels & comfortable transportation with air conditioner! The drivers were knowledgeable about the country & answered every question!

An Experience To Remember - This was a beautiful trip from beginning to end. Nurudeen our tour guide was very attentive as he took time to capture and include request from all parties in the group. Nurudeen's professionalism is beyond reproach and hospitality is second to none. If you are considering a trip to Ghana you owe it to yourself to contact TripAfrica!

New experiences - A big praise to Nurudeen, we felt all around top care, he took care of everything. We were especially impressed by the forts in Elmina and Cape Coast. We have gained many impressions of the country and its people. The only drawback of this trip was the high humidity with which we had to fight.

Enjoy Ghanaian diversity. - Excellent tour organized by Tropicaafrica your. Nurudeen is friendly and careful person as well as Tony the driver. The visited sites were carefully selected to match my request. My recommendation is to avoid that selected beach as it is not clean for swimming or walk on the shore.
